Exact linear hydrodynamics from the Boltzmann equation

arXiv:0801.2932 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.214503

Abstract

Exact (to all orders in Knudsen number) equations of linear hydrodynamics are derived from the Boltzmann kinetic equation with the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook collision integral. The exact hydrodynamic equations are cast in a form which allows us to immediately prove their hyperbolicity, stability, and existence of an H-theorem.
